This is terrible. Another win for Islamic supremacy. I side with business. Period. Praying workers - gotta go. Apparently now.

Chicken processor
Gold’n Plump has been forced to pony-up a settlement in a Somali
worker prayer case in Minnesota. Accomodation of Muslim demands in the
workplace continue aided by the folks at the EEOC and its subsidiary, CAIR. Hat tip: Janet. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

As many as 100 Somali Muslims who are
current and former workers at Gold’n Plump Inc. will receive a total of
$365,000 in a settlement of federal lawsuits alleging religious
discrimination at the company’s chicken processing plants in Cold
Spring, Minn., and Arcadia, Wis.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) alleged in a lawsuit filed in September that St.
Cloud-based Gold’n Plump violated federal law by terminating Somali
workers who prayed during their work shifts. The EEOC alleged in a
separate lawsuit that the Work Connection Inc., an employment agency in
St. Paul, required applicants for jobs at Gold’n Plump to sign forms
acknowledging that they might be required to handle pork.

Many Muslims consider pigs to be unclean and believe the Qur’an prohibits them from handling pork products.
